Supreme Court of Vermont August 15, 1851 (Washburn v. Washburn)

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Redfield, J.

The questions in this case are mainly matters of

fact, and were, we think, correctly decided by the court of chancery. In regard to the law involved in the decision, we have no doubt. The matter fairly and bona fide in controversy, and not the amount of the balance ultimately struck by the master, is to determine the jurisdiction.
